Franco Shows Down Trips
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Sonny Franco and Julian Margner were heads-up on a flop of 9♥J♠6♣ when Margner led out for 9,000 from the big blind.
Franco called in the cutoff and the J♦ fell on the turn. Margner then bet another 22,000 and Franco again called to the A♠ river.
Margner slowed down and checked, and Franco checked back and turned over J♥8♥ for trip jacks to win the early pot.
